Help
By Rebekah Poe Teaching
Use this parent input survey to get to know your students from their parents' or guardians' perspectives. Use the information from these questions to help create IEP goals and incorporate them into IEP meetings. The graphics tie in with my "Meet the Teacher" letter, also available on TeachShare. This letter prints in black and white to save ink. Pass these out at Meet the Teacher Day or Open House. Or send them home before the IEP meeting. Questions included tie into questions from the Alabama State Department of Education but can be used by teachers in any location.
This is included in my Survey Bundle available here.

Behavior Tracking Sheet for self-assessment
By Rebekah Poe Teaching
Students can complete this behavior tracker to show how well they were able to:
Follow directions
Participate
Have a positive attitude
Stay on task
Complete work
I added room for the teacher to write in how many (if any) prompts are acceptable to follow directions and stay on task. I also left room for a percentage of work that should be completed. I know often my special education students struggle to complete assignments due to lack of focus, etc. So I might put that one student needs to complete 70% of his assignment and then gradually increase it. There is space for that to be written in in the chart.
Students can choose a big smiley face, a small smiling face, and a frowning face to show how well they were able to maintain the directives. At the bottom there is room for teacher signature and comments. At the top, the student has space to write what assignment he or she is assessing.
Two sheets print per page to save paper.
Classroom Behavior Management Strategies and Interventions
By Rebekah Poe Teaching
Keep this quick reference guide for classroom behavior management strategies and interventions handy for when difficult behaviors arise in the classroom.
Print the Classroom Behavior Management Strategies and Interventions Quick Reference Guide on cardstock (laminate if preferred) and punch a hole in the top left corner. Use a binder ring to secure the pages together.
Use page 1 of quick reference guide as a way to determine an idea of the function of your student’s behavior. The box with the greatest number of checks should be considered as a possible function of the behavior. NOTE: THIS QUICK REFERENCE DOES NOT AND SHOULD NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF A FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT FOR SIGNIFICANT BEHAVIORS.
After determining a possible function, flip to the page of the book for that function to see a list of behavioral strategies to alleviate the negative behavior. Behavioral interventions are also suggested by function. NOTE: THESE STRATEGIES AND IDEAS FOR INTERVENTION DO NOT AND SHOULD NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF A BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION PLAN.
By Rebekah Poe Teaching
Use these certificates to celebrate when an IEP goal has been met! Students will be excited to receive an award for their hard work, and parents, guardians, and gen ed teachers will know the goal has been met. Includes a place to write which goal has been mastered.

Behavior Data Collection for ABC Data
By Rebekah Poe Teaching
Looking for a way to learn the function of a student's behavior? I've got you covered with this Behavior Data Collection Sheet. This can be used as part of an official functional behavior analysis or as a way to learn how your students communicate their needs.
What's Included?
Why do you need this?
There is a student in your classroom who struggles to express their wants or needs in an appropriate way. You want to alleviate the problematic behavior by discovering the behavior's function so you can find an alternate replacement behavior that serves the same function in a way that is more appropriate for the classroom.
How can I help?

Accommodation Checklist- Post-it Template
By Rebekah Poe Teaching
As a special education teacher, I use these to communicate with the general education teachers about what accommodations were given on which assessments. The post-it template allows me to print directly on to a post-it note to make it even more quick and convenient. Print a template, cover the squares with post-its, and place the paper back into the printer. The direction of the paper will vary based on the model of the printer, but for me, I put them in upside down and facing backwards.
